President Biden remembered former Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), who died Thursday, as “one of the most honorable and decent people” the president said he has ever known.

Biden called Levin “brilliant, humble, and principled” in a statement Friday. The two served in the Senate together for 30 years.

Levin died Thursday at the age of 87. He retired in 2015 after more than three decades in the Senate and was the longest-serving senator in Michigan history.

“Embodied”? or “Embalmed”?

You never know for sure if Joe is saying what is he’s saying or meaning what he’s meaning

Biden eulogized Strom Thurmond. Biden LOVE government officials becuase they work together to enrich themselves and their families and friends.

Scumbags.

Nicely put.
His Levin family in Michigan has been a long time Deep State con artist group, unashamed of bloating their insider wealth for favors.

And like the late Rep.John Dingell (D) who was in he House from 1955 to 2015, Levin is an example of the good that term limits can do abut Dems. In the last years, Dingell’s head drooped forward in his seat in Congress after aides wheeled him in and they told him to vote each time because Dingell wasn’t aware of his surroundings enough to listen to the bill debates. Some “leader.”

Part of Wikipedia bio:
Carl Levin was the state’s senior Senator until his retirement in January 2015. His uncle, Theodore, was a federal judge. His first cousin Charles was a Michigan Supreme Court justice, after serving as a Michigan Court of Appeals judge. Another first cousin, Joseph Levin, was a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives. His son Andy Levin was an unsuccessful candidate for the Michigan Senate in 2006, but in 2018 was elected to succeed him in the United States House of Representatives.

after more than three decades in the Senate and was the longest-serving senator in Michigan history.

Is that really something to be proud of?

Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel. These cretins and reprobates give cretins and reprobates a very bad name.

Joe Biden worked with segregationinsts and at least one Klansman (all Democrats) while he served in the Senate.

Joe should be known by the company he keeps and the people he praises in spite of obvious flaws.

On a news site — I did not save the link — they said that former US Senator Carl Levin was “a fierce advocate for the auto industry.”

You can see the effectiveness of his fierce advocacy by driving through the ruins of Detroit... in an armored personnel carrier!

As a wise man once said on CNBC, China has government planning by scientists, mathematicians, and engineers and the US has government planning by lawyers. Both are bad, and by definition we lose.

“He should be buried in a septic tank along with Dingle, John Lewis, all Kennedys, Jimmy Carter when he dies.”

I remember Sen. Levin as a particularly nasty old sot.
Yes, he should join those reprobates in the Septic Tank!

Levin is no longer steaming turd, now just a cold hard one.

Politicians are maggots and of course they all get along as they eat the rot that they create.
